“It's a lot of money because at the moment the perception of Lukaku is that he's a bit of a flat-track bully but he's scored a lot of goals at Everton where they don't create as many chances as United will.

“Lukaku will fill the void that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has left. They certainly needed a striker. Alvaro Morata was the one that looked like he was going to United but in Lukaku, you've got Premier League pedigree. He knows the league inside out.

“He could be fitter, he could work harder but there's a lot more to come from him and United fans will be hoping that Jose Mourinho can bring that out of him.”
